He should be in a pack of dogs with a similar energy level. He loves, loves, loves to play.

• He loves playing fetch and gives the tennis ball right back.

• Submits to bossy dogs.

• Likes to sleep in bed with his person.

• Great with male and female dogs.

• Great with kids.

• Likes mud puddles. (He was "an angel" at the groomers).

• Perfect bill of health from vet (Dr. Hoffman at Tarzana Pet Clinic).

• Great hiking partner! We took him on the trail last night, and - crossing our fingers - let him off-leash. He was with multiple dogs and returned regularly to his pack.

• Neutered, up to date with all shots, microchipped.

Grimley is a happy, goofy, ball-loving boy. He would do best in a home with other dogs. Because he is still a puppy (the vet put him "between 7months and 1.5 years old") the people aren't gone all day. He can be a bit clingy - understandable since he was in the pound and was scheduled to be euthanized within hours of being picked up.
